CONTAINER-LINING FGBMING DEVICE.

Application lcd. July 20, 1922. Serial Fo.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMANN R. LEON- HARD, ing at Haledon, city of Paterson, county of Passaic, and State of New Jersey, have invented new `and useful Improvements in Container-Lining Forming Devices, of which the following is a full, clear, ication.

My invention relates to box-lining forming devices and refers particularly to de-A vices suitable for the forming of box-linings employed in the complete covering of a contained material adapted to be removed'from the box in covered form.

It is frequently desirable to form, or mold, a 'material within a box and then to remove the same covered with a material, such as,

aper.

The production o so-called ice-cream bricks is an example of this method of procedure, in the production of which a box is lined with paper, the ice-cream packed tightly within the lining, the upper portion of the lining wrapped over the top of the ice-cream form and the wrapped form removed from the box.

While my device is not limited to this particular use, it is especially adapted for that urpose and presents a means whereby all ci) formed in a rapid and efficient manner.

In the production of ice-cream wrappers, it is not necessary that the edgesof the covering be hermetically sealed, and for this 4reason a cross-shaped piece of paper of particular construction can be successfully employed with my device.

It is customary, in the production nficecream bricks, to place two rectangular pieces of paper at right angles to each other within the box, this operation being mainly performed by fitting each piece of paper'as a lining within the box. This requires considerable time and skill, as the pieces must be so exactly placed as to produce an abutment of the corner edges when completed to prevent leakage of the ice-cream. It also causes a loss of paper material, as twice the quantity is used in the bottom of the box as is actually necessary.

My device overcomes all of the above and other difiiculties and presen-ts a means whereby a single layer of paper may be inserted by one operation,

with assurance of proper a citizen of the United States, residand exact speci the necessary operations can be performation of the covering material to prevent leakage.

Inthe accompan ing drawings illustrating modifications o the device of my invention, similar parts are designated by similar numerals.

The particular form of the device of my invention, shown in the accompanying drawings, comprises a rectangular wooden formin body composed of the sides 11, 11, the en s 12, 12 and th top 13 and interior chamber 14 open at the bottom and connecting with the opening 15 of the body top 13. The top 13 extends beyond the sides 11, 11 and the ends 12, 12 and has a recess 16 withih the lower face of the extended portion for purposes to be described later.

of the paper lin- The upper ace of the top 13 carries the supporting members 17, 17 carrying the handle 18. v

The operation of my device is as follows Over the top of a box 19 is placed a crossshaped piece of paper,- preferably waxed paper 20, and the forming y p upon the paper and inwardly of the box 1.9, the openings 14 and 15 allowing of the escape o air. The device is then in the position shown in Figure 3 land the paper is folded inwardly along the indicated lines AA, B-B, A--B and` A-B and outwardly along the lines C-C, DD, E--E and F-F, the latter foldings being caused by the recessed flange 16 of the top 13.

The forming body is then withdrawn from within the paper2 lleaving the box 19 with a folded paper lining covering the bottom, sides and ends thereof.

The material, such as ice-cream, is then introduced into the paper and the end por-I tions 21, 22, 23 and 24 folded over the top and the wrapped contents removed from What I claim is ze the box. 1. In a container-lining lforming device, The shown box has a bottom, but my de in combination, a container, a hollow formvice is adaptable to boxes without xed boting device of the same shape as the container 30 .5 toms, in which case the wrapped material and capable of close insertion therein, an is removed by raising the box, allowing the outwardly extended fiange carried byA the wrapped material to remain upon the surformer ca able of abutment upon the top face upon which the box rested during fill edges 4of t e container when the former is in inserted therein and a handle carried by the 35 1o n the modification shown in Figure 6, upper portion of the former.

the forming body is made from one piece 2. In a container-lining forming device, of metal with the top 13 and the side 11 in combination, a container, a hollow formand having the outwardly extended recessed ing device havin the same shape as the conto ange 26. v tainer and capab e of close insertion therein, 40 irom the above it is evident that my dean outwardly extending fiange carried by vice presents an economical, rapid and eiecthe former having a recess in the lower face t1ve means for the lining of boxes and ooncapable of receiving the upper edges of the tainers, in that the accomplishment of this container when the former is inserted there- 1 result consists simply in placing a piece of in and a handle carried by the former ex- 45 20 container material over the box and forcing tending exteriorly of the container when the 'C the forming member therein. former is inserted therein.

I do not limit myself to the particular Signed at Haledon, in the county of-'Passize, shape, number or arrangement of parts, Sale and State of New Jersey, thls 15th day as shown' and described, as these are given 0f July, 1922.
